India obtained its independence from Britain in 1947, after the resistance movements headed by Mohandas GANDHI and Jawaharlal NEHRU. The country was then separated into secular India and the smaller Muslim territory of Pakistan; the 1971 war between India and Pakistan turned East Pakistan into Bangladesh. Besides the conflict over Kashmir, India continues to have problems with overpopulation, environmental degradation, and widespread poverty.
